I am a photographer trapped inside the body of an English major.

My name is Courtney Lane. Like the rest of the world, I want to do something special with my life. It took me four years and quite a few major changes and life altering circumstances to figure out that I didn't want to do a single thing I was going to school for. Yes, everyone can pick up a camera now and turn the dial to Automatic and get some decent shots, but I like to think that I see more than just a picture.

I see the senior girl who has spent her whole life feeling less than beautiful and just wants one chance to feel special in her own skin. I see a couple who made it through all the ups and downs of a relationship and have still decided that they want to call each other husband and wife. I see a business owner desperately trying to show their worth to the world but just don't know how to do it.

I want every photo shoot I do to be an experience. To remind people why they are so extraordinary and why it is important to find value in themselves.

So if you are looking for an experience, I would love to be your photographer. However, if a cheap price is what you are looking for, I am going to ask that you keep looking, because I want to work with people who value my work as much as I value them.

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you around the blog!

I have been inspired by Jamie Beck to create my very first cinemagraph! It took me a really long time to figure out how to get it just right, and this one isn’t perfect, but pretty darn close! This one is pretty simple compared to Jamie’s, but I still feel like I have accomplished something...

Hello folks! Its been a long day of figuring out some new stuff for the blog, but I am excited to give you a glimpse into my shoot with beautiful Meghan! She is going to be the perfect little teacher one day and so I was excited that she was willing to use some fun...

I attended. I learned. I love how my images turned out. Thank you so much to all who were involved in making this day so beautiful! These are all of the vendors who helped out that day…HIRE THEM FOR EVERYTHING. Cake: Everything Cake Flowers: CarlyAne’s Floral Makeup/Hair: Beaute Speciale Lighting and Music: Our DJ Rocks...
